Arthur Hill High School 2018-2019 Annual Education Report for 2017- 2018 Progress Martha Fordham, Principal April 9, 2019 Dear Parents and Community Members: We are pleased to present you with the Annual Education Report (AER) which provides key information on the 2017-18 educational progress for Arthur Hill High School. The AER addresses the complex reporting information required by federal and state laws. The school’s report contains information about student assessment, accountability, and teacher quality. If you have any questions about the AER, please contact Arthur Hill High School at 399-5800 for assistance. The AER is available for you to review electronically by visiting the following web site www.spsd.net/aer, or you ​ ​ may review a copy in the main office at your child’s school. For the 2017-18 school year, schools were identified using new definitions and labels as required in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). A Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) school is one that has at least one underperforming student subgroup. An Additional Targeted Support (ATS) school is one that has three or more underperforming student subgroups. A Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) school is one whose performance is in the lowest 5% of all schools in the state. Some schools are not identified with any of these labels. In these cases, no label is given. Our school has not been given one of these labels. To address our challenge of increasing student academic achievement in all core academic content areas, Arthur Hill High School uses the Professional Learning Community (PLC) process, which allows our teachers to meet regularly, share expertise, and work collaboratively to improve teaching skills and the academic performance of students. To provide additional support to our students with disabilities, as well as to students ranking in the bottom 30%, Arthur Hill provides additional support in math and reading with strategic intervention classes. Both resources provide individualized reading and math support, and Martha Fordham; Principal http://www.spsd.net 989.399.5800 ​ Arthur Hill High School 2018-2019 Annual Education Report for 2017- 2018 Progress Martha Fordham, Principal intensive assistance and interventions for students not meeting grade level expectations with extended hours of instruction for our lowest achieving students. In addition, Arthur Hill has designed an instructional core intervention and enrichment hour to provide all students with additional support in math and reading. At Arthur Hill, we have fully integrated the use of Glencoe’s Math Triumph and Pearson’s On Ramp Math to support math instruction. For additional support in reading, Arthur Hill has integrated Scholastic Read 180, as well as SpringBoard resources in both math and reading. These programs provide rigorous, personalized and aligned resources to meet the needs of every child. To further support differentiated instruction, staff has fully integrated the use of Google Chromebooks, graphing calculators and new science lab resources. State law requires that we also report additional information. Students are assigned by boundary area in the City of Saginaw. We also accept students, as part of the Schools of Choice process. Students attend Saginaw from the other boundary areas in the district, as well as other school districts in the county ISD area. School attendance boundaries are set by the SPSD Board of Education.
